"King Tuff"is the new record from King Tuff—his first for Sub Pop and his second album overall. Was Dead,
King Tuff’s 2008 debut, captured the attention of the rock underground
and quickly blew through its limited pressing (it now resides on ebay,
being snatched up for hearty sums). His gem of a new album was produced
by Bobby Harlow, of The Go and Conspiracy of Owls,
and recorded during a furious two-week run in Detroit. And Bobby has
the following, among a great many other things, to say about it:

“After investigating Was Dead I realized that, with his
latest offering, King Tuff’s songwriting was stretching far beyond the
thrill of the immediate dance-floor reflex and now revealed a songwriter
with a keen eye inside everyone. That was the stuff that I was
interested in. Embarrass me! I don’t give a fuck about your
ex-girlfriend.

We’ve created something here. King Tuff should not be inspected or
even listened to with critical ears. Cut your ears off. Rock & Roll
is meant to be blasted into your cells, penetrated, and absorbed. It’s a
visceral experience. Seek solace in solitude when you’re dead. If you
aren’t able to recognize the genius in this epic album, then you’re
already dead. Kill yourself. Or get a job. Your choice."

"This simply stunning debut album from Gap Dream is looking like it will get an official release through UK label Sounds Of Sweet Nothing
in the coming months. The trippy organs and fascinating instrumental
arrangements that flow throughout this self-titled debut album make this
listen a truly mesmerizing experience." The Vinyl District UK

"Trent Fox's brand of
garage-punk-twang is definitely a fresh breath of air in a constantly
evolving scene... instantly catchy
garage/punk/rock n roll anthems. Songs about drinking, fights, girls,
tomfoolery, drinking, Mario 3, old ladies and working class life in
Milwaukee. Required listening for anyone who spends their summers
drinking beer and soaking up the sun on their porch right after the
Winter frost has thawed. This will make you bump 'n boogie."- Kind Turkey Records
